+385
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

ShopTrade is a verified Shopify Premier Agency and Shopify Plus Partner with a legitimate track record, despite the low-quality submission. The project shows strong real-world traction with positive reviews on The Manifest and FeaturedCustomers, indicating a successful B2B e-commerce service business. However, the submission itself contains significant inaccuracies (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'space-technology' as a tech stack) and lacks evidence, which severely impacted the Response Quality and Audience Reach scores. The score reflects the solid underlying business utility and verified partner status, adjusted downward for the poor quality of the input data.
